# Time Caps vs Time Capsule

The clearest difference is rating: Time Caps at 4.8 against Time Capsule's 3.9. Time Caps also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 67%) and ratings volume (153 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Caps sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Time Capsule sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Caps holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Caps has 153 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Time Caps's written reviews are positive against 67% of Time Capsule's.
